Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 149 Reunion with Shui Qing'er

Grandma Water picked up her cane and said with a forced smile to the platinum bishop beside her, "You're really getting old..."

She was really too excited.

Grandma Shui herself couldn't remember how long it had been since she last saw Yu Xiaolie.

Although Yu Xiaolie's appearance has changed a lot, Granny Shui will always remember his temperament and those eyes full of fighting spirit.

Yu Xiaolie nodded to Granny Shui without saying a word.

Immediately, Granny Water continued chatting with the Platinum Bishop, but she had long since lost interest.

So she first gave Bishop Clark a forced smile and saw him off early.

“Your Excellency, it’s getting late. I’ll definitely bring Qing’er to visit another day. Let’s call it a day.”

The platinum bishop noticed Granny Shui's lapse in composure and glanced suspiciously at Yu Xiaolie and A Yin, who had suddenly appeared beside the passage.

Now that things were mostly settled, the Platinum Bishop was in a much better mood and didn't pay much attention to these anomalies.

Only after the figure disappeared at the end of the corridor did Granny Water breathe a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

"Xiao Lie!"

When Grandma Shui turned around, even her wrinkles were filled with surprise.

But soon, this joy was overshadowed by a complex emotion.

She glanced at A Yin, who was standing beside Yu Xiaolie, and said, "What's wrong with you..."

Yu Xiaolie stepped forward and greeted them:

"Grandma Water, it's been a long time. This is my friend."

Grandma Water said happily, "Okay, okay, but why did you suddenly come back?"

Yu Xiaolie then replied, "To be honest, it was Miss Qing'er who asked me to come."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Grandma Water's face, instantly dimming the light in her eyes and freezing the smile on her lips into a bitter arc.

Her cane slammed heavily on the ground.

"Come with me."

A moment later, Granny Shui led the two to the main hall. After Yu Xiaolie took his seat, A Yin sat quietly beside him.

Grandma Shui looked at the two of them meaningfully, let out a sigh, and then began to recount what had happened during this period.

“More than a month ago, the Pope of the Spirit Hall suddenly issued a notice to find a husband. At that time, the Platinum Bishop Clark of the Spirit Hall in Tianshui City did not even give a notice, but directly submitted the list of eligible female spirit masters in the city, including Qing’er.”

"Then, last week we suddenly received a notification from Wuhun City, Qing'er..."

At this point, Grandma Water paused for a moment and sighed softly.

"Grandma Water, speak slowly, there's no rush."

Yu Xiaolie had already gotten a general idea from the letter and immediately offered words of comfort.

Granny Shui continued, "Qing'er passed the preliminary selection and is qualified to meet the Pope, but that girl absolutely refuses to agree."

"I had no choice..."

Grandma Shui suddenly grabbed Yu Xiaolie's hand with astonishing force.

"Clark came to our door many times, almost every day, putting pressure on us, saying that this was an opportunity for the Tianshui Phoenix Clan to rise to prominence. He also demanded that Shui Qing'er be prepared to enter Wuhun City. I had no choice but to... I had no choice but to lock Qing'er up..."

"I intended to offer some kind words of advice, saying that there's nothing wrong with the Pope of the Spirit Hall, but I never expected that this girl would actually write you a letter."

It turns out that Granny Shui had already compromised. No wonder her expression turned strange after she learned that he was summoned by Shui Qing'er.

Yu Xiaolie thought for a moment, then asked softly, "Grandma Shui, I would like to see her."

Grandma Shui glanced at Yu Xiaolie, knowing there was no other way at the moment.

To be fair, Yu Xiaolie used to have a fairly good relationship with Shui Qing'er in Tianshui City.

Thinking of this, Granny Shui immediately got up and led Yu Xiaolie and A Yin to the backyard.

Ah Yin followed behind Yu Xiaolie, perfectly embodying the image of a virtuous wife. Granny Shui stopped in front of a side room, raised her hand and knocked on the door, saying, "Qing'er, someone is looking for you."

Soon, a muffled response came from inside the room, a sound that seemed to come from under the covers, and it had a nasal tone.

"I won't see anyone! I won't see anyone!"

Seeing this, Yu Xiaolie took half a step forward, ran his finger across the door panel, and said to the room, "Should I not see them either?"

Suddenly, the room fell silent.

Then came a flurry of noises, like a stool being knocked over and something else being overturned.

Then a series of hurried footsteps grew closer, and with a click of the latch being pulled, the door was suddenly yanked open.

Shui Qing'er stood in the doorway, her thin, plain white undergarment hanging loosely on her shoulders, revealing half of her collarbone.

At that moment, she was barefoot, clearly still excited and hadn't had time to put on shoes.

Shui Qing'er's usually meticulously combed hair was now disheveled and hanging over her shoulders, with traces of unwiped tears still clinging to the ends.

Shui Qing'er carefully examined Yu Xiaolie in front of her.

Although his appearance had changed drastically, she still remembered his voice, his familiar features, and his deep eyes.

Shui Qing'er's lips trembled, and her eyes were red-rimmed, after confirming that the person in front of her was Yu Xiaolie.

The next second, ignoring everyone else, she rushed into Yu Xiaolie's arms like a fledgling bird returning to its nest.

Shui Qing'er wrapped her arms around Yu Xiaolie's waist and buried her face in his chest. At this moment, all the grievances she had held back for so many days turned into a silent sob.

Shui Qing'er's shoulders were shaking violently, but she couldn't make a sound.

Because she has cried enough these past few days.

Yu Xiaolie stood frozen in place, his hands dangling in mid-air, his gaze constantly shifting between A Yin and Shui Qing'er.

Ah Yin was standing three steps away from the two of them. Her expression changed unconsciously, and her brows furrowed. She was clearly jealous.

Because Shui Qing'er was hugging him so tightly, Yu Xiaolie could clearly feel the fabric of his clothes being soaked by a warm liquid.

And there was that familiar scent on Shui Qing'er's body.

However, Yu Xiaolie did not sense any soul power flowing through Shui Qing'er's body; she seemed like an ordinary person.

Yu Xiaolie gently patted Shui Qing'er's back, but his movements were somewhat stiff.

Immediately, he looked up at Granny Shui, his eyes filled with inquiry.

Grandma Shui shook her head helplessly, a look of resignation on her face.

Clearly, she had sealed Shui Qing'er's soul power.

Yu Xiaolie tried to gently push Shui Qing'er away.

But he was held even tighter. Sensing Ah Yin's unfriendly gaze, Yu Xiaolie's voice suddenly became very light and cheerful as he said:

"Now that I'm back, let's not be so unpleasant. I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight."

Grandma Shui quickly waved her hand: "How can you treat me like this!"

Then, Granny Shui turned to the maid waiting in the corridor and instructed her, "Go tell the kitchen to prepare a banquet tonight, and to prepare some fine wine and dishes. Oh, and also take out the Hundred Flowers Wine from the cellar."

After a long while, Shui Qing'er finally lifted her head from Yu Xiaolie's embrace.

Tears still clung to her eyelashes.

"Xiao Lie..."

Ah Yin suddenly stepped forward and handed Shui Qing'er a handkerchief.

Shui Qing'er then noticed the beauty, but she didn't take the handkerchief; she just stared longingly at Yu Xiaolie.

Yu Xiaolie reluctantly took the handkerchief and gently pressed it to the corner of Shui Qing'er's eye.

"No rush, we can talk about it slowly tonight."
